Gold Tennis Bracelet on Digital Pocket Scale

This item is a gold-toned tennis-style bracelet shown resting on the weighing platform of a portable digital pocket scale. The bracelet features a continuous row of small, bright stones—likely cubic zirconia or diamonds—individually set in what appears to be yellow gold or gold-plated links. The bracelet is coiled on a round metal weighing dish. The scale beneath it is a standard portable model with a black plastic housing and an illuminated green LCD screen currently displaying a numerical value of '86.02'. The underside of the scale's hinged lid contains a 'Quick Start Guide' with printed instructions for 'Tare Function', 'Count', and 'Calibration'. The scale features CE and RoHS certification marks on the label. The lighting in the image is dim with a strong green cast from the display. While the specific carat weight or metal purity cannot be verified from the photo alone, the weight shown on the scale is a significant detail for appraisal purposes. No visible maker's marks or hallmarks are legible due to image resolution and positioning. The condition appears to be used but functional, with all stones intact from this perspective.

I have examined the digital image of the tennis-style bracelet and the handheld digital scale. At this time, I am appraising these items as a 'Lot' consisting of entry-level jewelry and consumer-grade precision equipment. The gold-toned bracelet exhibits characteristics consistent with costume jewelry, specifically gold-plated brass or silver with cubic zirconia (CZ) stones. The lack of visible hallmarks, combined with the excessive weight reading of 86.02g for a single bracelet, strongly suggests the scale is either uncalibrated or the bracelet is composed of a dense, non-precious base metal. A solid 14k gold tennis bracelet of this size typically weighs between 10g and 20g. The scale is a generic portable model frequently used for hobbyist or light culinary purposes rather than laboratory-grade measurements. Its value is depreciated by its used condition. Market demand for these items is common, with high availability and low rarity. Limitations: This appraisal is based strictly on visual cues. I cannot definitively verify metal purity or stone authenticity without performing a nitric acid scratch test or using a thermal conductivity diamond tester. To provide a high-value appraisal, I would require physical access to inspect the clasp for '14K' or '585' hallmarks and verify the scale's accuracy using a certified 100g calibration weight. If the bracelet were found to be 14k gold with natural diamonds, the value would exceed $2,500; however, based on the visual evidence of the metal's luster and common manufacturing style, the current valuation reflects its status as decorative fashion jewelry.
